Here at JORI International Ltd., you can call us to confirm if you are covered for the insurance needed with your shipments.

We learned via American Shipper that the likelihood of a fire to occur on a cargo ship is quite common and with harsh weather conditions across waters, this only makes matters worse. This seems to be related to the “normalization of risk” in the shipping industry where greater failure rates are accepted in the maritime environment compared to other forms of shipment. So making sure you have insurance to account for such risks will be the best way to avoid bigger headaches for the time being.
